Still very common in the south. once upon a time Coke was the only soda here so all other sodas became versions of Coke.

And we have a winner!

I am sorry. I may not be able to help you there. I guess I was too hyperbolic suggesting it was well established in law. Most references I see refer to public school settings, but it mirrors my understanding of how it applies to restaurants.

Well they could use witness testimony of other passengers saying that they were not the most loud and that whites were just as bad. It sounds like most of the train is supporting them.

Classic misdirect. Stats show that they are in fact subjected to harsher rules and tend to get fired more, and hired less. But as it gets more common to call people on that stuff, there are more people who accuse them of being victims for money. Its a bit like people talking about false rape accusations, Even though…

Nope not any time. Although it does seem that anytime someone suspects racism, somebody says that they deserved if because of how they were acting. Usually without asking who else was acting the same way.

Except that apparently there were not a bunch of old people, just some guy and a train full of other people who did not mind. We still do not know for sure, but so far it is leaning their way.

It is not an assumption. It is the news. Even before the suit, it was reported on and other white people on the train concurred. It seems that they were loud but non threatening, got a warning, then had another big belly laugh and were thrown off.

This sounds like the most plausible situation. The customer sees 20% and says its crazy. Waiter says “That’s what we do. The law says we can.” He has a fit and stiffs the waiter.

In the American’s with Disabilities Act, as amended.

Its pretty well established in the law that charging people more for allergy preferences is against the law. But there are reasonable limits.

Well not all Jewish people keep Kosher. I know plenty that just do not care.

I had a similar response. In TN “The mountains” would not have snow on them most places. Although the same place would be called a hill in Colorado.

Yes!. Because your card is actually run twice. The first time when you give them the card, they run it (making sure you have the cash) and then take you the receipt for you to add the tip. They adjust that later in the system, but While the charge is pending it will only show on your “Available Balance” which is what…

It is considered reasonable to adjust a food item or offer an alternative. Re designing the entire menu is not considered reasonable.

Well in the US that would likely constitute a violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Allergies, however minor count and you have to make a reasonable attempt to accommodate without charging. “Reasonable” is a big key though.

this thread confuses me.

Well this is one of those things where commerce has subverted tradition. Caesar has anchovies, but popular dislike of anchovies (craziness) has brought out variations.. versions with Worcestershire and other secret anchoviness...but also lots of “caesar dressing” that is just acidic ranch.

It is illegal, but people are assholes.
